A fictional retelling of an iconic moment in Indian history, the film revolves around the country's first Olympic gold win as an independent nation in 1948. The victory against Great Britain in the field hockey final was a payback in many ways, and was instrumental in reaffirming the national identity of a newly independent India.

Verdict: Your tickets for this hockey-based film should be booked by now. If you had to name the best Hindi sports movie youve seen, the answer will most likely be Chak De! India or Dangal. Besides them, no other film has managed to invoke the sense of patriotism and triumph. Akshay Kumar, who is slowly becoming the king of biopics, has joined the Khan duo with Gold. It is one of the best Bolly......Read full review

Films become important for everything they say, and sometimes for what they dont. Before we sit down and thrash out a Gold movie review, it is important to list everything that Akshay Kumars Independence Day offering is not. In these divisive times, when using the P-word can get you immediate claps and whistles, Gold shows them as our allies and encourages a healthy relationship. Its Independence Day rhetoric can be schmaltzy but is never cloying, asking us, as citizens, to dream and achieve them, over decades and generations, because only that can make a country great....Read full review

Bollywood Life

Theres something about a sports drama, isnt it? Much like a real-life duel, watching even a staged match gives you an adrenaline rush like nothing else. Throw in a little patriotism in the mix and you have yourself a winner. Which explains why so many filmmakers want to tap into the potential of such stories. And hockey matches provide ample scope to make for a good drama.
